Well, I was going to write something about wormholes, but that can wait.
This happened. That industry expansion everyone assumed would just never come is coming this summer. Or at least round one. I can't wait for the NDA'd minutes to come out and see what level of involvement the CSM had.
There is a lot said in the dev blog linked above, and more to come. I don't have much to say at this point, because it looks like it will take some time to find out how all of the changes are going to fit together.
Off the top of my head the most exciting parts are:
- Removing wait times on all manufacturing and research.
- POSes in HS will no longer require god-awful standings grinds.
- That interface.
Again, how this all plays out will be interesting to see, but I think the changes to research waiting will really open up the field to players looking to get into industry. Now you can trade isk for time without building a POS, something that is currently a pretty big advantage for older players with the skills to research outside HS, or set up POSes to research, or who had stacks of BPOs researched to high levels. Now instead of waiting to build a POS or waiting for queues, players can just get researching as soon as they buy the BPO. The copy mechanics changes, shortening the time to copy BPOs, will also make positioning of all aspects of the process more interesting.
I am excited to learn more. Looks like I might have alts doing a fair amount of research this summer...
